QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." - Cecil Beaton
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY
Rise Against - Survive
TRAINING
Cardio - Rollers:
20 min in 39x18 @ 108-110 rpm
Stretch 20 min.
COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~8 hours. Bit later falling asleep this morning, so got up later.
Mood/Aggression: Moving FORWARD!
Energy: Today is an 'easy' day (see changes to training under "Competition Notes").
Mental Focus and Clarity: Going to be a few changes to my website over the coming months - starting them now.
Endurance: Fine.
Quality of Training: Just a recovery session on the rollers. My body has changed over the last few months, and noticing the difference when on the rollers.
Appetite: There will be NO more slip-ups, no matter how minor, for the next eight weeks - this is for ME!
Other Notes: My Eviscerate Smolder arrived today, making my competition stack complete - will be applying my first application of that tonight.
Competition Notes: Recomping is being cut short a week, to allow me an extra week to get back into the condition I want to be in. Along with this adjustment is a quick change to my training schedule - going back to more volume and slightly longer resistance sessions, making sure to get that post-weights cardio in. Some weeks I may also do Arms on Tuesday instead of Wednesday, but no biggie. All stops have been pulled out. It's time to get this - like I said yesterday, there is a LOT riding on this competition!
FIT TIP OF THE DAY
Eric Lizotte, an acquaintance of mine recently said that, "Working from reality is the way you get your desired results, not working from fantasy." He is right - whilst it is important to have a goal, it is ESSENTIAL that you work towards achieving that goal from where you are at NOW. For example, if you're 200 pounds and want to be 180 pounds, your nutrition plan should be for fat loss for a 200-pound individual, not an 180-pound individual; if you have never trained a day in your life and suddenly decide to run a marathon, you gradually build up your training and do not immediately start out on a training programme for an elite athlete; etc.
